I've also played the board game before under the name of solitare. According to this Wikipedia entry on the subject, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peg_solitaire) the board game is known as solitare mainly here in England, and the solitare card games were traditionally called patience. my grandmar always referred to "seven card stack patience" meaning the standard solitare game.
I'm glad that Light tech have made the Blank block game easier than the peg Solitare game I knew, because as has already been said, that game is murderously hard (hence my looking it up on Wikipedia).
